Book Description
This work tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London, and journey together to the shrine of St Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another, shot through with cunning wit and dry humour.
About this book: Geoffey Chaucer (c.1340-1400) was one of the finest storytellers in the English language, as well as being a great poet and an accomplished prose writer. The Canterbury Tales, although incomplete at the time of Chaucer's death, is generally regarded as his greatest work. The Canterbury Tales tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London and journey together to the shrine of St. Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another. The Tales themselves range from the exemplary saints' lives told by the nuns, to the bawdy, comic tales of the miller and the reeve, always shot through with Chaucer's cunning wit and dry humour. Chaucer leaves his readers with the impression that the whole of medieval society has passed before their eyes. This new transcription and edition is taken from British Library MS Harley 7334, a beautifully decorated, volume produced within ten years of Chaucer's death. The aim of the present edition, with its 'on-page' notes and glosses, is to enable readers with little or no previous experience of medieval English to read and enjoy this landmark in English Literature.

评分As the title indicates, l cannot help associating this book with another distinguished tales, Decameron written by Giovanni Boccacci, which tremendously aroused my interest in making a further comparison between the two masterpieces. Despite the appa...
评分火车开始轰鸣，Z30次列车上一片欢声笑语。 这轻松的氛围始于列车长的一句提议：“既然我们都是要乘火车去北京看天安门的，一路上大家尽可以畅所欲言。每个人说一个故事，精彩的话，我就免费送一瓶来自西藏冰川的矿物质纯净水，原价7块5哦！” 然后大家就“争奇斗艳”地讲了起...
评分作者简介：(英)杰弗里·乔叟(Geoffrey Chaucer)，1343年-1400年。出生于伦敦一个富裕的商人家庭，受过大学教育，熟悉法语和意大利语。1357年开始出入宫廷，后常出访欧洲，在意大利接触到了但丁、薄伽丘等人的作品．这影响了他后来的文学创作。乔叟于1400年在伦敦去世，葬在威斯...
评分相较于薄伽丘的《十日谈》和拉伯雷的《巨人传》，乔叟的《坎特伯雷故事》在精巧性、文学性上都更胜一筹，而我也更能接受这样稍微庄重、细致的文风。 在第一个骑士的故事中，讲了他们中常见的主题——爱情，两个受难王室兄弟同时爱上敌国王室女子，当敌国国王做判决的时候，是让...
